Alergia al látex: avances en el desarrollo de inmunoterapias hipoalergénicas especificas / Latex allergy: advances in the development of specific hypoallergenic immunotherapies

ABSTRACT

This review provides a brief update about the strategies that have been developed for the hipoallergenic immunotherapy against latex allergens. Thus, recombinant mutants, chemically modified molecules, anti IgE monoclonal antibodies and T-cell epitope-based peptides have been used. Additionally, recent finds that show the importance of dendritic cells and their potential applicability to latex allergens are included.
